I watched “Dr Bashir I presume” last night, and Quark offered Rom the holosuite program Vulcan Love Slave Part 2.

Why would you want a Vulcan to service you sexually? I mean, there’s a few fetishes that tie into that (bored and ignored, clinical… detachedness, rape?) but, seriously, in this context it doesn’t seem like a good fit.

How would it even go? “It would be logical for you to climax now😐” , “You created genetic material of a higher than average quantity for your species. This is impressive to me😐”. Hardly a fulfilling love affair to take your mind off that fun Dabo girl. I’m sure there are far more sultry aliens out there to fulfil your fantasies.

    I always assumed it was a kind of oxymoron title. This Vulcan, unlike the others, is controlled by emotions - love in particular. Think of a woman who’s 3 times stronger than you and also obsessed with you, despite her entire upbringing and society telling her that it’s illogical.

    Now that’s a holosuite program I would run.

      You know what? That’s a really good way of thinking about it that I overlooked. Great theory!

      EDIT: Does that mean she doesn’t have that stupid haircut either?
